Book Cover

Here's a sneak preview of the cover of the book. The designer recently sent a picture---I'm just giving you a preview as it's a secret, you know. It'll be called Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler but it should be Barbara and Becky's Civil War Sampler---as it's Becky's quilt up there.

Liberty & Union,by Becky Brown

85'' by 101 1/2'' ,

machine quilted by Deb Jacobs, 2011.

You'll recognize the blocks from the many posts in 2011.

Thanks to Becky!

The book will be shown to shop owners at fall 2012 quilt market. It will be in shops December 2012. Just in time to make it onto your Christmas list.

How exciting for you to see this sneak preview. How perfect to put Becky's quilt on the cover. You both did an amazing job of leading us through the blocks each week. It was a wonderful and unique experience, both in gaining skills and friendships, both real life and cyber space, I shall look forward to the book release.

How exciting! I should rename my quilt "Friendship Quilt" - Thanks to everyone who made this project so much fun by sharing your blocks and comments. I can't wait to see what Barbara has tucked inside the book. Happy sewing, everyone.

I cannot wait for this book! Congratulations to Becky on her awesome quilt and front cover! This has been the best group ever and I thank you Barbara for getting us so inspired week after week! Planning on buying several copies!!

Oh, this is a wonderful tease! Congratulations to Barbara - I can hardly wait to get the book - and to Becky - it is absolutely perfect to have her quilt on the cover! It was a wonderful experience in all ways!

This will be a wonderful Christmas gift! Barbara, thanks for sharing all you do. Becky, you did a fabulous job and your quilt has a well deserved place of honor as the cover quilt!I'll be looking forward to seeing it in print. Cheers, Cathy vJ in MA

I was expecting this book ! each week I printed the blocks and explanations but could not print of course all the stories behind these blocks and I was certain that some of these days all these posts would become a book. I will certainly buy it as soon as it is published so as to complete my Barbara Brackman's books collection. Thanks a lot Barbara...

The book cover is beautiful and I can't wait to look inside, congratulations Becky on being a cover girl and thank you Barbara for such a fun project that I am slowly catching up and will someday finish!

This would have to be one of the most anticipated quilting history books for a long time Barbara!!! Of course you know that you already have a wide captive audience of dedicated quilt hisory lovers don't you LOL!!!!! Thankyou for that little tease peek of the cover, it'll be awesome and I can't believe it'll be available at the end of the year, can't wait!!!!
